Where are the pics of the damage done by the deer? I wanna see the blood all over the truck. : )
Sorry to see all the bad luck you have been having with the SS. Hope this doesn't sound bad, but I found your first post in this topic to be rather funny how you start out about the first accident and waiting so long to get it back and bang, smash it again on the very day you got it back from the shop.
here's the only one that I could see the blood on... you know the adjuster actually took blood and hair samples on it...

Well I was determined to find my missing Shopman bowtie,so I went back to the deer crossing...I found it...alittle beaten up but it took a shot
so , as promised the finished picts.... after the rearend shot and pushed into a mini van, the deer shot...I think I need a small deer siloette for a kill like the old fighter pilots...
now I need a barge...some firewood....and a Viking with a bow and arrow
Peace,
Rob

Hi all,
Well thats what Ive been getting my balls busted about....time for a viking funeral,Ill explain in a bit. As a update on the SS getiing rearended while I was enjoying NYE in Cabo...(theres a post about it somewhere)
For a while it seemed like it would be totalled....Hartford Ins wanted to try and "fix" the frame
I was like no ****ing way!I want "pre accident condition" so after a bit of bitchin' and obviiously they arent gonna total it i want a frame...so
I got my way...so on with getting it all together!
And 58 days later....thats right....fifty ****in eight days....I got the call with those words I so longed to hear...."your truck is done!"No more driving the most uncomfortable,slow ass,$180/week gas hog,5400 miles of driving, truck ever...2008 silverado 4x4
So I leave the job site at lunch to pick up my SSS...
How much was this trip down memory lane you might ask?.....$14950. plus a rental for 58 days
Life is great again...the rumble...the Bose...the looks you get...you know? Then I get a call from my 15 year old to pick her up from school, as she stayed until 9pm at a jazz band practice....just crusin'....not speeding...cruzin' then it happened....****ing Bambi decided attempt to leap across a 2 lane road from a abuntment of 5+ foot high elevation...doin' that Matrix thing you know? And a slight boom...not too loud,I knew I hit him because of the explosion of blood from her lower hind quarters....called the wife told her I just hit a deer...she said thats not funny and hung up!pulled into the school parking lot...got out...seen the fender buckled,walked to the front...grill smashed...my shopman bowtie...gone....my headlight hanging like the terminator...it was a silent ride home...I had my SSS back for.... 9 hours and 15 minutes....WTF!
7 more days...$5800...with $500 deductable...( comp claim..whew)my SSS is back shiney,new shopman,looking awesome again...Ill post those picts as soon as the sun comes out again...now around here they have a controlled hunt to thin out the deer herd in this state park near me and there are always protestors there...ahhhh poor Bambi...and I never gave it much nevermind but now...its on...these deer are like big squirrels and need to be wiped out...people and deers dont mix....got back to work looking all shiney and new and my crew are talking of putting my SSS on a barge send it out to sea...giving her a proper viking funeral.
Sorry for being long winded on this, but now we are all caught up...Ill post fished picts this weekend
Peace,
Rob

Asking $115

i know....but from what i understand is that both frame rails are buckled at both behind and in front of the rear wheels... both insurance companies are schedule to go out tomorrow(fri) and look at it...my nephew is a adjuster for mercury insurance and "ballparked it " for me ... new gm 1500 frame - $2800 , 30 man hours remove and replace - $3000+- ($5800.) both sides of the bed have a buckle can get a complete bed for $1800- remove + replace + paint $1200 ($8800) rear cladding + paint $600 ($9400) rear bumper,brackets,pad and paint $880 ($10280) Repair+ paint tailgate and lower cladding $725 ($11000+-) front bumper assembly and grill with prep and paint and remove and replace $ 1300 ($12300) alignment and assorted bullshit $2000 ($14300) - NADA - $21960. salvage price for the truck $9000.
deduct salvage price from NADA = $12960... the cost is less than the price to fix..
it kills me...you know I am thankful that everyone is unhurt but there is a part of me that wishes the old guy driving the caddy was paying more attention to the road...with 6 kids,a house and everything that surrounds me that I share that truck was the only thing that was all mine that wasnt shared....sorry everyone for the vent...
peace,
rob

at 2 locations on each rail..
-
Ouchies... though, I would fight it being totalled, cause to me it shouldn't be.
both frame rails are bent 1 about a foot behind the bumper bracket and in front of the rear wheels....

what a way to come home from a 2 week vacation in cabo only to find out our babysitter took the ss out and got rear ended......WTF! thankfully the sitter and my 17 year old were in the SSS and not the 03 monte ss as a STS failed to use his brakes and plowed into the rearend starting a 3 car chain reaction.... the cop said that is one strong truck because there could have been at least 3 deaths...2 in my truck and the minivan in front of them... the old guy was taken away in a amblance and was cited on the spot...Ill take plenty of picts as soon as the sun comes up...
peace,
